Wow. I wasn't expecting that! I hope we get more details soon. Ms. Lunsford seemed so decisive about not pursuing capital murder. I wonder what changed??

Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney Denise Lunsford initially did not seek a capital murder charge, saying she made that decision after consulting with Graham’s family and weighing the impact on the community.

On Tuesday, Lunsford said that new criminal analysis came back in late February. She said that there is “compelling evidence from the lab that capital charges are now appropriate.” She declined to comment about what that specific evidence is. “These are never easy decisions to make. If I didn’t believe it was worthy, we wouldn’t be standing here today.”

New attorneys were appointed to defend Matthew, as his previous lawyer does not have experience defending death penalty cases, which carry with them a high level of judicial and appellate scrutiny. Doug Ramseur, of the Virginia Capital Defender’s Office, and Michael Hemenway, a private lawyer in Charlottesville, will now defend Matthew against the capital charge. - From this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...de5b46-f33f-11e4-84a6-6d7c67c50db0_story.html
